So a bunch of people in this subreddit told me that uTorrent was trash and to switch to QBitTorrent.
I didn’t think much of it. How could one be so much better than the other? They’re both just torrent downloaders.
Holy shit was I wrong. I don’t even really understand what is happening, but downloading torrents on QBitTorrent is so, so, so much faster and I don’t even understand how.
A movie downloads in basically seconds compared to 10 or 20 minutes on uTorrent.
Why is this? What is this magic? What makes QBitTorrent so much faster?
There are a handful of features that I really like with qbittorrent but there were plugins I can’t find replacements for from Deluge:
- having items deleted after meeting seeding requirements, as *arr auto imports, but having exceptions for private trackers
- the above without having the *arr stack have a permanent warning
- auto adding public default trackers to any public torrent
I’ve switched back and forth a few times and I run them side by side but let deluge take the reins of most of it because I have it set up to be hands off with the above.
If anyone knows how I can set up qbt the same way that would be great though
The third should be possible with this maintained fork:
